Darren Bravo hit his highest Twenty20 score as Trinidad & Tobago crushed Guyana in Port of Spain to move to the top of the table. Guyana asked T&T to bat and removed their openers Lendl Simmons and William Perkins cheaply. They even managed to restrict Dwayne Bravo to a run-a-ball 19 but Darren Bravo kept the runs coming for T&T. Guyana hadn't allowed T&T to blaze away, though, and when Denesh Ramdin became the fourth wicket to fall, the score was 127 in the 16th over.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Jamaica edged Leeward Islands in a nail-biter, pulling off an exciting win via the One-Over Eliminator to move into contention for a play-off spot in the Caribbean T20 on Friday night.
In another low-scoring contest that swung this way and that, the Jamaicans held their nerve when it mattered most, after scores were tied at the end of both innings at Queen’s Park Oval.
Opting to bat, Jamaica posted 110 for eight off their 20 overs with Danza Hyatt (39) and captain Tamar Lambert (34) proving the catalyst for the innings. Burly off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall snared thee for 10 in an outstanding four-over spell.
In reply, Leewards rallied through Cornwall (28 not out) and Devon Thomas (26 not out) after a middle order slump, scoring 12 runs off the last over to sensationally level the scores to force the decisive super-over.
Once there, however, they lost their mettle and managed to scrape together just two runs. Andre Russell then wasted little time in wiping out the deficit, banging the first ball of Jamaica’s over to the mid-wicket boundary to hand his side their second victory on the trot.
Jamaica are now level on nine points with leaders Trinidad and Tobago but have played one more game while Leewards remained rooted to the bottom without a win in three outings.
The result was a huge blow for the Leewards who had their best outing of the campaign.

Guyana's bowlers defended a low total by a huge margin at Queen's Park Oval and handed Barbados their first defeat of the Caribbean T20. Defending 108, Guyana dismissed Barbados for 66 in 17.2 overs.
Having been sent in to bat, Guyana had been dismissed for 108 in 19 overs. Though run-scoring had been slow, Guyana had progressed to 63 for 2 in ten overs and looked set for a more substantial total. However, they lost three wickets without a run being scored to slip to 63 for 5, and then three more wickets for the addition of four runs to slip to 89 for 8. Shivnarine Chanderpaul was the only Guyana batsman to make more than 20, while Dwayne Smith and Sulieman Benn took two wickets each for Barbados.
